this was mitt romney among his pals, mitt romney among his peers, in a room full of wealthy donors where he actually was being more comfortable than you normally see him and speaking candidly, saying what he really thinks. and the problem with that is it's not what sean spicer was just saying in the previous segment. he didn't say, well, 47% of the electorate is unavailable to me because they're partisans who are with obama. he said half of the country are essentially moochers. he said half the country are dependents who feel that the government owes it to them to give them health care and social security. he basically was saying half the country are sort of dead weight. and that's a lot different than just saying that politically they're not with me. he said what he thought in a room full of sort of the upper class, and that reinforces the fundamental problem for romney, is that he can't relate to the average american, that he essentially thinks that there are the winners, who are these sort of well-healed caplets, and there are the losers, which is everybody else. >> hogan, you were no

but they are rallying around mitt romney. the realization is that we've had four years of barack obama with policies from an economic standpoint that have not been good for the country. from a standpoint of the social and cultural issue, certainly not good according to this crowd and what we've seen unfold in the last four years. so first off, yes, they're very motivated in the election, but now that motivation to remove barack obama is turning into support for mitt romney. and i see the intensity and i believe it will reach a point where mitt romney will be successful. >> you mentioned the primaries. do you think the republican primary made mitt romney a stronger candidate or do you think that they weakened him? >> no, craig, i think that's a great point. i actually think it made him a stronger candidate. if you'd listened to his message yesterday, what he did is a good portion of his message was the message that rick santorum had in the primary. and he acknowledged it. he said i learned a lot from rick santorum and i unders

you see the president at 49%, mitt romney at 44%. this is a state where unemployment is 2.5% higher than it was this time four years ago. not to mention home foreclosures there being higher than the national average. why is it that mitt romney has not been able to close the deal in the sunshine state? >> i think the economic diversity of florida plays a lot into this. florida is kind of a tough political nut to crack because you have as the former president just explained many different income levels, you have a housing market that's very mixed, the bottom fell out during the crash, but obviously there are very nice homes in healthy markets in certain parts of florida. i think it's been hard for mitt romney to hone his message to different parts of the city. and plus they just had the republican national convention in tampa which is also where the democrats bought a lot of time for this new ad. i think that's notable. the republican message of the big convention probably permeated throughout florida. instead of micro targeting certai
